Data Privacy & DSARs

Handling employee data lawfully has become increasingly important for businesses, especially given the role that technology plays. As a result, data privacy and AI compliance has become a key concern for employers.

Overview

Data protection compliance is a key concern for our global clients and can cover a broad spectrum of areas of the employment lifecycle, from GDPR compliance and notices/policies, data subject access requests (DSARs) and data breaches.

All of our lawyers advise on the risks and implementation of strategic steps in order to help manage those risks. Our advice comprises data protection compliance as well as risk mitigation strategies for potential claims. We also have a dedicated data privacy team specialising in this area both locally and internationally.

We regularly advise on and manage DSARs for our clients. We do not conduct these in isolation of the risks and concerns that matter to you.

We take a strategic approach to how this exercise will impact on existing and potential claims. We also offer specific DSAR review products.
